- This adds a `catala depends` command that recursively tracks module dependency.
It can then be used by Clerk for linking.
- Generation of cmo object files are added for OCaml (we only built native
objects, but jsoo requires bytecode).
- Some fixes to the generation of value embed/deembed shims (related to types
coming from different modules ; add support for options ; etc.)
Always generate the version through git when possible, and encode that within
the binaries so that `catala --version` does'nt give misleading information.
Previously we used dune's builtin functionality, but that resorts to a hack at
install time which is unpleasant and doesn't work with our use of `opam
install`.
The cost is a re-linking of catala_utils and the binaries upon git commit, which
is hardly noticeable.
This changes the `decl_ctx` to be toplevel only, with flattened references to
uids for most elements. The module hierarchy, which is still useful in a few
places, is kept separately.
Module names are also changed to UIDs early on, and support for module aliases
has been added (needs testing).
This resolves some issues with lookup, and should be much more robust, as well
as more convenient for most lookups.
The `decl_ctx` was also extended for string ident lookups, which avoids having
to keep the desugared resolution structure available throughout the compilation
chain.
- Add a `-I` option that allows defined modules to be available from other
directories
- Add reporting of the number of successful / failed tests
- Locate the project root, and always run the commands from there
it is useful e.g. to be able to print intermediate ASTs when they don't type, to
debug the typing errors. This is better than commenting the typing line each
time.
Note that the option is not available on all targets (esp. not for ocaml and
python outputs ; it's allowed on the interpreters for debugging purposes but I'm
not sure if that's a good idea)
this is more consistent, avoids empty stamp files and should make things simpler
overall.
The slightly tricky `-C` option is added to Catala so that it can be run from
_build while paths to source and destination files are still specified relative
to CWD (Ninja doesn't provide string manipulation, so otherwise we would have to
explicit both the `_build/dir/` and `dir/` versions of each path).
* Obsolete code for included tests has been removed
* The engine uses a proper lexer and is much simplified
* An inline test in the middle of the file now only "sees" the file up to that
point. This fixes an issue where we had spurious errors when a type error was
added at the end of a file, and it would pop up in tests before it. This makes
files including many tests much more practical.
* diffing and resetting the tests has been reintroduced (done at the moment in
Ninja, but for more control (count number of failed tests, etc.) we could put it
back into Clerk at some point
* The Catala CLI can now take an input from stdin (with the possibility to link
a (possibly fake) on-disk file for error reporting and file locations ; this
is useful for running tests)
We need a concrete intermediate target for e.g. transitive uses of `> Include`
for Ninja to correctly handle them.
Of course we could also unroll all transitive dependencies, but meh.
Note also that now tests now just generate the outputs but facilities for
diffing and resetting are temporarily absent.
Rather than require all files to be listed on the command-line (and having to
check consistency with `> Using` directives), the main catala CLI is now a bit
more clever.
⇒ There is a new assumption that a module name definition must match the file
name (up to case and extension) — with appropriate error handling to enforce it.
In exchange, `> Using` directives are now used to more transparently lookup the
appropriate `.catala_*` interfaces and the compiled artifacts for the used modules (handling transitive dependencies), with just standard `-I` flags for when they need to be looked up in different places.
rather than scattered in structures
The context is still hierarchical for defs though, so one needs to retrieve the
path to lookup in the correct context for info. Exceptions are enums and struct
defs, which are re-exposed at toplevel.
... and add a custom printer
Since this is a very common bug, this patch should gain us a lot of time when
debugging uncaught Not_found errors, because the element not found can now be
printed straight away without the need for further debugging.
The small cost is that one should remember to catch the correct specialised
`Foo.Map.Not_found _` exception rather than the standard `Not_found` (which
would type-check but not catch the exception). Using `find_opt` should be
preferred anyway.
Note that the other functions from the module `Map` that raise `Not_found` are
not affected ; these functions are `choose`, `min/max_binding`,
`find_first/last` which either take a predicate or fail on the empty map, so it
wouldn't make sense for them (and we probably don't use them much).
- We're able to say from the parser what the user could have written. It may not be complete due to the acceptable function of Menhir : it is only an indication given to the user (and not intended to be an adaptive documentation)
- .mli file added : module interface for suggestions
- Add a test that provides a typographical or a logical error.
- Documentation and type / name changes for suggestions
- Clearer (more detailed) error messages (see parser.messages, parser_driver.ml ->)
--> Parser_driver.ml : we're more precise and show all possible instructions to the user.
- Suggestions.ml : unimportant display changes + renaming
- suggestions.ml : improve details + algorithm implementation (see @Altgr reviews) + comments
- suggestions implementation : since we want to keep the same structure to display suggestion messages, Suggestion is no longer a formatted string but a string list. The goal is to have a similar formatted string for each suggestion, no matter what the error message is.
--> This involves changes to suggestions.mli, compiler/desugared/from_surface.ml (most important one) and compiler/surface/parser_driver.ml
